Many social media users also criticized the choice of music accompanying the arrival of Olympic squads, which was led by DJ Leonid Rudenko, one of the few internationally known Russian DJs. The expected performance of the fake lesbian pop duo t.A.T.u. during the arrival of the Russian squad didn’t materialize. Instead, DJ Rudenko played a remix of their track "Not Gonna Get Us."

Beats from Queen's anthem "We Will Rock You," when the Russian team emerged were also heard floating through the stadium, adding a musical element to the gay rights theme of the games.

According to reports flooding Twitter, India's Olympic athletes had to walk into the opening ceremony as "independents" due to political infighting at the country's Olympics governance body.

One big hit from early feedback was the arrival of the Jamaican bobsled team, who finally got their equipment delivered after it had been stuck en route from New York to Sochi.

it's a funny one in some countries though like Denmark and Iceland where like 90% of people speak perfect English. it's easier to communicate in English than for them to try to understand your shitty Icelandic/Danish/Swedish.

lol conspiracy

Prior to 1951, the official handbook stated that each color corresponded to a particular continent: blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and Oceania and red for America (North and South considered as a single continent); this was removed because there was no evidence that Coubertin had intended it (the quote above was probably an afterthought)

Re: lol conspiracy

"...the six colors [including the flag’s white background] thus combined reproduce the colors of all the nations, with no exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tri- colors of France, England and America, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, the yellow and red of Spain next to the novelties of Brazil or Australia, with old Japan and new China. Here is truly an international symbol."
